Autopsy Rd 4 - Massive choke - Bottomed out again.

[pinot]

Last week hurt more than this one we actually tried to move the ball today this is such a poorly drilled team.

 

[the nail]

We are now the joke of the AFL like Fitzroy circa 1995.

Shits got to change. Coaching right through to players coming in who have no skill at AFL level.

We also have way too many players who are nice and don't have that win at all costs throw your body at everything desire and will to beat their opponent no matter what the outcome.
If the forward structure proviso was to bomb it to Gibbons then we really need help in the coaches box.

Time to try some things Blues get some players up in the seniors that actually earned a spot Jack,Kennedy,Kreuzer etc should be given a run and can have stints through the middle to help Cripps.

******* gutted Carlton has dropped to be the shittest team in the last 15 years.
If changes aren't made we may end up like Fitzroy.

******* Disgraceful.

spot on..we are even worse,,,,,no game plan,coach who cant coach,and have the worst development coaches in comp,another spoon.im tired trying to defend this rabble,cripps and walsh aside.

 

[SBYM]

I gotta say...that plan thingy that was released a few weeks ago...

Awkward...

 

[Dadda Dave]

Lots to be happy about. Some of our young pla...

Nah. Even I can’t find the positives in that.

Once again, as a collective, we think SOME work is ENOUGH work.

Awful. Just awful. I rate this list, but I can’t see us winning a game all season. Something very wrong at the moment.

I can’t watch them anymore. I’m done.

So we'll see next week then

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

I’m done.

See ya

 

[cfc4life]

Just on the Gibbons stuff, for people saying it was the players fault, could Bolton not simply move him out of the forward line? It's not like he does anything while hes there

 

[dragonsblues]

I’m disappointed in McKay’s attitude. When he is beaten or on the wrong side, he seems content with being beaten. No hunger or desire or even frustration.

Concerning.

 

[Blue1980]

Remember folks, can't blame the coach without blaming the rebuild method.

The team is unbalanced and the list is still full of holes.

Would winning by a point or two really make such a difference?

Agree fully, SOS seems to go with a theme for each draft at the expense of everything else

 

[Christou2Kouta]

Our recruiting leaves alot to be desired. LOB at pick 10 ?? Lol what a joke. We have no support for Cripps and have recruited way to many KPP.

At the time I was a fan of Darcy Fogarty but I reckon Ed Richards is the player I would love to have taken at pick 10.

Good to see all the usual suspects rolling out bagging the club and the coach after a loss... if you don't like the ******* club and the coach, **** off!

Jones last mark... that was a mark and the umpires were trying their hardest to get the suns to win. The AFL can't afford to have the suns constantly losing this year like they were supposed to but their trying their hardest to make them into a good side all of a sudden... bullshit! The Suns are no better than us!

As for Murphy, a couple of years ago, he would have been launching that last kick from the 50 through the goals. Now... it appears he can't kick reliably more than 30m.

This is pathetic.

Claiming the game was fixed so the Suns could win - ****ing spare me. Can’t hit simple targets or follow an AFL standard structure all day and we talk about umpires.

 

[serenityNow]

Gutted.

Sitting in my garage having a beer just shaking my head... very very disappointed in Carlton atm.

 

[gardiner stand]

I couldn’t give a ****. You can’t just keep taking it. We’ve been shafted for years.

Did you know it’s in the rules that if you infringe the 666 rule in the last minute deliberately then it’s a free kick and 50m penalty. But no. Go get a warning. That’s all on the fluoro campaigners.

That I didn’t know....now I feel a bit robbed

 

[thylacine60]

Bolton better stand up and say something about that umpiring if he continues to let it happen and not say something he’s the problem.

I thought I'd seen the stupidist post of all time - nup - on a night like this, this is a big result

 

[GapInIkonPark]

Cripps, Weitering, Jones, Walsh and Murphy among the best. Fisher in first half then faded.

Delivery into forward 50 was really bad and does not go with playing so many tall forwards.

We seem to lack any overlap run. It’s kick to a man but generally kick to a contest. Not much running past the opposition with our ball movement.

As bad as the game was to watch, the Suns have now won 3 and lost the fourth by a point.

Not expecting us to beat the Bulldogs but certainly hope we give a good account of ourselves.

 

[Blue1980]

Today was just really upsetting to be honest. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we have turned to shit since Neil Craig left. I still think he was the brains of the operation when we were playing to our potential in Bolton’s first two years.
Thank god for Cripps.

I’d agree re Neil Craig

 

[RedFury]

Another 28 disposals, 6 tackles and a goal! How about that Sam Walsh eh .... ???

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Can't blame the umpires, we got away with so much today.

There's no point sending Dow to the VFL. Playing against Coburg won't magically teach him how to kick. We've drafted a player with poor disposal, we have to live with it.

We're lucky Lobbe doesn't give away 10 frees per game. His ruck craft is entirely based around grabbing his opponent's shoulders and upper arms.

Murphy sadly summed himself up beautifully in the last 5 secs.

Having nobody in the goalsquare, in an AFL game, with one kick in it, and a stoppage inside our defensive 50. It's... absolutely mind-blowing.

Am now genuinely scared Cripps is going to try and get out when he can.

 

[rp84]

Positives: at least the oppo ruck wasnt BOG again today (he was only top 5)

 

[Jeffy38!]

I don't blame any Carlton supporter for losing their shit on here, vent till your hearts content. We've suffered for too long.

Too right!

 

[davis_756]

I know this is blasphemous around here, but SOS' recruiting is starting to turn a bit sour.

Zero small forwards
Zero genuine rucks(TDK a combo and also project)
No one to help Cripps
Dow and LOB in the first round, one can't kick, the other can't tackle.

They tried to get Martin from GC and Pickett is injured

Ruck they need another project but I'm letting them get away with it while kruezer has a couple of years left.

Tried to get Rockliff and Shiel and will try again this year.

Shit draft in hindsight, sadly it come in the middle of our rebuild but the drafts either side have been good.

SOS knows the list weaknesses and is working to rectify them, I'd be directing my disappointment at the coaching who wanted this team to chip chip hold onto the ball when we had control early in the last instead of kicking a couple of goals to ice the game.

 

[BIuebagger]

Fish needs to play HF with Ed into the middle, swap them. Cripps and Walsh need some assistance pronto. I beg.

bulldogs looks like they've got the 2 best players of that draft in naughton and richards.

 

[Bostonian]

Caro, Whately, Robbo, Niall etc licking their lips right now...

Well we make it easy to be a target. We've been given a pretty easy ride the last few seasons by the media, we deserve to have the heat applied to us again.

Most of what they say will most likely be true.

 

[BlueView]

Did anyone else feel like we didn't look dangerous when the ball hit the deck inside forward 50?

Yeh Harry Levi and Mitch crumbing Gibbons crashing the packs wasn’t ideal

 

[Coops93]

I was rather impressed with our ability to get the ball out of defensive 50 up to the wing and 70/80m from goal. We did it so many times with absolute ease.

From there though we absolutely fall apart. All we do is bomb it in long, no hit up targets. It's not that they're being burned by the kicker, no-one presents short at all. Not sure if it's a gameplan thing or just no-one does it, but we are probably the worst team in the league with quality entries inside 50
